do a best atrl members list so i can be on top :3

are you serious? you guys are SO desperate for taylor to do badly. a song that reaches #1 for multiple weeks and has one of the highest one-week streams of any song is definitely not an underperformance. omfg.

8 . Ed Sheeran - Perfect it never ends.

83 . Shane Dawson - Girlish Body since when has shane dawson had a music career?

cardi is rising so much. one hell of a #1 effect, i guess. and good old days still holding on with multiple dark green updates :o let's see if it can stay steady i really like macklemore ok

5. Macklemore - Good Old Days (feat. Kesha) still hasn't started freefalling, and is higher than glorious ever was. interesting. :o

i don't understand people who say these things. remix or not, people were still interested in the song, and it wasn't one of those remixes that was entirely different from the original either (yeah i'm looking at you J Lo). i guess it's not ideal, but i don't think we should call it a ploy. also i don't see how featuring justin (as a huge male pop star of the moment) is any different from featuring boyz II men (as a huge male group pop star of the moment; remember that boyz II men had multiple #1s in the 90s that lasted more than 10 weeks) i do think i actually would've preferred uptown funk to tie the record rather than this, though, because i can't remember any song that felt as big as it did in my time (but i might just be biased because i love uptown funk). still, it's hard to deny that despacito was incredibly popular on a scale that most songs aren't.

no, shape of you and humble were solo, and several others in 2016 were as well. i think he meant by a solo, unaccompanied woman.

84.4m??? that's insane. i knew she'd debut at #1 and have high streams but that's incredible.

...but a lot of other artists had big hype too, and it didn't happen to them. that's literally the point being made. and beyonce's pure sales were huge with lemonade too, which wasn't true for jay. that's why her figure is more believable.

i'm pretty sure it's not even possible to count that (or at least not easy enough to do for every single album out every week)

it was worse than this in 2014 though, so it's not that new of a thing

also billboard made a minor mistake. this is despacito's seventh week at #1 in sales, not its sixth. it was #1 in sales for one week before it hit the top of the main chart and has been #1 in sales in every week it's been on top.

not another increase in streaming i can't believe how huge this is and it's definitely gonna be on top for a long time unless something completely extraordinary happens

this isn't true. the sales of singles (at least the ones in the top 10) are higher at the beginning of the year. if you pay attention you'll see that the sales figures of summer #1s tend to be lower than in the earlier parts of the year.

have you tried this revolutionary new tactic known as scrolling past it? it's a real innovative technique and I think you'd get a lot out of it

but i won't knock gaga for what she did. it was a seriously smart promo move, and i do like her in the end so i'm glad to see her do well. i guess part of it is that this makes me concerned that the minute the discount goes away, the song will drop like a rock. i'd be disappointed if that happened

in the end, i'm not a huge fan of the discounting, and i think it is a factor to consider when talking about how successful the song is, but it still shows some incentive to hear the song, so that's what matters i suppose although i don't buy (no pun intended) the idea that just because other artists have done it, that makes it better. that really doesn't make sense to me. whether the trick is fair or not is based on the principle you're operating on, not whether someone you like/dislike has done it or not

....no they weren't? they legitimately were not discounted what proof do you have of that? and no "i remember" doesn't count
